Patience rewarded me at last. After hearing a bird making the same insistent brief call from the foliage, I spent several minutes trying to locate the source. At last, I found a small, rather elusive brown bird, skipping from spot to spot among the branches of vines and trees. I was able to snap a couple of quick photographs before the bird disappeared from sight. My wife informed me that it was almost certainly a wren, and my Birds of Georgia field guide photograph of a Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) is nearly an exact match. The Carolina Wren is a cavity-nesting bird that resides year-round in Georgia.
